    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Verse

    Em                  Am       Em
    My lover’s got humour
                                         Am     G
    She’s the giggle at a funeral
                                           Am         Em
    Knows everybody’s disapproval
                                                  Am     Em
    I should’ve worshipped her sooner
                                     Am           Em
    If the Heavens ever did speak
                                      Am     G
    She is the last true mouth piece
                                           Am           Em
    Every Sunday’s getting more bleak
                             Am       D
    A fresh poison each week
                                   C                                 Em
    ‘We were born sick, you heard them say it

                                        Am      Em
    My church offers no absolutes
                                                  Am     G
    She tells me ‘worship in the bedroom’
                                          Am  Em
    The only heaven I’ll be sent to
                                  Am    D
    Is when I’m alone with you
                            C
    I was born sick, but I love it

    Command me to be well
    G              C     G             C         G              Cm G   G  F#    F# F
    Aaaaaaaaa      aaaaaaaaamen.    Aaaaaaaamen. Amen

    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                          Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life

                          Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life

    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Verse

    Em                             Am
    If I’m a pagan of the good times
    Em                       Am
    My lover’s the sunlight
    G                                   Am
    To keep the Goddess on my side
    Em                         Am
    She demands a sacrifice
    D
    To drain the whole sea
    C
    Get something shiny

    Em                                    Am                Em
    Something meaty for the main course
                                      Am             G
    That’s a fine looking high horse
                                      Am       Em
    What you got in the stable?
                                           Am
    We’ve a lot of starving faithful
    D
    That looks tasty
    C
    That looks plenty
    C
    This is hungry work

    G F#    F#    F

    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                          Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life

                          Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life

    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Bridge

    C                    G                          B7               Em
    No masters or kings when the ritual begins
                 C                   G                     B7                Em
    There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
                 C                   G              B7                Em
    In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
               C               G
    Only then I am human
               B7               Em       D      C
    Only then I am clean
    G     C G       Cm G    Cm G    G  F#   F#   F
    Oh, A- men. A- men. A- men

    Take Me To Church Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                          Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life

                        Em
    Take me to church
                                                                        B7
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                                                G
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                               Am
    Offer me that deathless death
      Em                            Am G G F# 
    Good God, let me give you my life
